About the Modern Black Mullet

Cut & Silhouette: Description: Layered shag/mullet hybrid with a distinct choppy fringe, shorter, textured layers around the face, and longer, wavy hair in the back. Key Details: The cut features heavy, irregular layering throughout, with the sides and crown noticeably shorter than the back, creating a pronounced contrast between the short, choppy front and the long, flowing back. Ear coverage: over-ear, hair falls around the ears. Sideburns: short, blended into face-framing layers, ending around mid-ear. Nape/neckline: Not visible (hair extends well past collar). Length: Overall: Back length approximately 18–20 in (46–51 cm) from crown to ends, reaching below the chest. Top/crown layers are about 5–7 in (13–18 cm). Front: Face-framing layers begin around chin to jaw level, approximately 7–9 in (18–23 cm). Sides: Layers around temples and ears are approximately 4–6 in (10–15 cm), significantly shorter than the back. Back/Nape: Long, wavy, extending well past shoulders. Not visible beyond mid-back. Fringe: Very short, blunt, and choppy bangs, approximately 1.5–2 in (4–5 cm), irregularly cut, resting above eyebrows. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: Full, blunt, and heavily textured fringe with a choppy, irregular cut, resting above the eyebrows. Parting: No distinct part; hair styled forward into fringe and falls naturally from the crown. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Wavy (Type 2B–2C) with visible natural texture and some irregular curl patterns. Styled Finish: Tousled, slightly messy, natural waves with a matte-to-satin finish. Appears air-dried or lightly diffused. Hold level 1/5 (minimal product, soft hold). Volume & Density: Description: High volume at the crown and sides due to layering and natural texture, contrasting with the elongated back. Fullness maintained through mid-lengths and ends. Thickness: Thick; dense coverage, especially at the crown and fringe. Color: Base Color: Dark brown, neutral-cool tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Chunky, high-contrast highlights/balayage in a light blonde/dirty blonde, warm tone.
